Costa Adeje Tenerife has officially opened its recruitment chapter ahead of the 2026/2027 season. The Tenerife side's first signing for the upcoming campaign is Natalia Padilla (Málaga, 6 November 2002). Although she was born in Fuengirola, the forward comes from a multicultural family. Her father, Joe Padilla, is French but grew up in the United States. Meanwhile, her mother, Joanna Bidas, is Polish. Both passed on their passion for sport to her. Additionally, her paternal grandmother was born in Morocco before moving to Spain. She began playing for Los Boliches, but reached Málaga at the cadet level, debuting for the first team in the Copa de Andalucía. Servette did not take long to secure her services, offering her a first professional contract. After some magnificent performances with the Swiss side, Bayern de Múnich took notice.
At the same time, her goals and assists caught the eye of the Poland senior national team, which called her up and where she has become a regular starter since 2021. Bayern de Múnich loaned her first to Köln, and then to Sevilla FC, where she shone in Liga F Moeve, finishing as the top scorer for the Andalusian side with 11 goals and 1 assist in 1,949 minutes across 28 league matches. Furthermore, the attacker became one of the best forwards in the Spanish competition, leaving a magnificent impression. Last season, Natalia Padilla returned to Germany determined to earn a place in the German side's first team. The forward played a total of 497 league minutes across 12 matches, in which she scored 4 goals (1 goal every 124 minutes), in addition to playing two Champions League matches and scoring another goal in the German Cup.
“Her signing is a leap in quality for our project. We are talking about a young footballer, but one with very significant experience,” affirmed Jordi Torres, the sporting director of the Tenerife side, who also highlighted the qualities of the new signing for the blue-and-white team. “Her speed, ability to create danger, and competitive mentality fit perfectly with the identity we want for this team. We are very excited that she has committed to our project and are convinced that she will help us continue to take steps forward,” he declared. For her part, Natalia Padilla arrives on the island with the firm intention of getting quality minutes again and standing out in Spain. “Hello fans. I am your new signing. I am very impatient for the league to start and I am really looking forward to seeing you at the stadium,” declared the new goalscorer for the Canary Islands side.
